Most of the comments supported the co-founder of the world's largest social network. It received over 85,000 Likes in less than 15 minutes, according to US Magazine.

However, some anti-vaxx people wrote that he was risking his baby's health. The anti-vaxx movement argues that child vaccines are unnecessary and that the ingredients are harmful, although many studies have proven the claims to be wrong.

In fact, the anti-vaccine movement has become so popular that it has resulted in lower vaccination rates in some United States communities. That has caused spikes in measles and other diseases.

Several anti-vaxx Facebook users shared their stories. They included claims that vaccines were infective, unhealthy, and even toxic.

One Facebook poster noted that pharmaceutical companies make huge profits. The person questioned if "big pharma" made vaccines to keep babies healthy.

Yet another poster even questioned if Zuckerberg were being paid for the photo of his baby getting vaccinated. They pointed out that a public statement is not always a real one.

However, other Facebook users made fun of the anti-vaxx group. They implied that giving babies vaccines could prevent the infants from getting polio or tuberculosis.    

The anti-vaccine movement has grown quickly and even includes many celebrities. They include Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, actor Jim Carrey, ex Playboy model and "The View" co-host Jenny McCarthy, actress Alicia Silverstone, singer Toni Braxton, and political commutator Bill Maher, according to New York Post.

However, CNN's chief medical reporter Dr.Sanjay Gupta points out that vaccines have yearly prevented 6 million deaths around the world, and have changed today's medicine. He also referred to a study published in December 2015. It included 1.2 million children and showed no link between vaccines and autism.  

Gupta also shared that people are 100 times more likely to be hit by lightning than to have a major allergic reaction to a vaccine.
